Created for the Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific Railway Company, this map, which traces passengers' favorite routes between Chicago and Council Bluffs, Kansas City, Leavenworth, Atchison, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and all points east, west, south-west, and north-west, was engraved by George Franklin Cram in 1883. The map’s wide span and intricate detailing capture the grandeur of the contiguous United States and allude to the wide-ranging impact railroads had on the country’s development. NYPL’s Lionel Pincus and Princess Firyal Map Division holds this remarkable artifact.
As handmade pieces of artwork, Fire & Pine’s wood wall decorations have a unique wood grain, tone, and potential knots that give them distinctive qualities. Woodworking artisans handle each piece of natural, untreated pine wood through a unique, one-of-a-kind burnt wood process. Wood is milled, ripped, sanded, and joined by skilled craftsmen in Ridgeland, South Carolina. Fire & Pine uses ethically sourced wood from the United States, and they are committed to sustainability practices that protect our trees.
